Following Lionhead's announcement last week that "big" Fable 2 news would be coming this week, it has now become apparent that Microsoft has decided to push back the announcement until November 24th.

Lionhead has released a post on its development blog stating that, "The big bods over in Redmond decided that, this week wasn't the time to tell you what that announcement is we have ready here in Guildford."

"For those of you who are waiting for the "big one" - stay tuned," the post continues, "Microsoft assures me that we can announce it on Monday 24th. If not, I will fly over there and slam my fist on a desk. Like, really hard!"

So there you have it, Fable 2 fans. Address your hate mail to Microsoft rather than Lionhead by the sounds of things.
